+Fish Below The Ice Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Wow, I haven't been able to come up with an answer to a question here for a long time! Thanks CA! Here's my question: What was I doing, specifically, (walking, driving don't count as answers) to create this track? Collecting all the stages for GCVHWJ: The Bunny Made Me Do It. dave Quote
+ElectroQTed Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Some good, some amusing guesses! Here's a hint: The tracklog is 1.2km long and took 33 minutes. Quote
+Landsharkz Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) Mowing the lawn? I just looked at this for the first time and it kinda jumped out at me. Seems like a building shape in the middle with turns at the end and then some neatening up! Funny huh? Edited August 30, 2007 by Landsharkz Quote
+ElectroQTed Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Exactamundo Landsharkz! Take it away. Quote
danoshimano Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Mowing the lawn? Yer good! Fun question, ElectroQTed! Quote
+Landsharkz Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 OMG! It was right? I was gonna say I can see where the driveway is too I love answering these but now I need to come up with a fun or challenging question and that's the hard part 'cause y'all are so darned brilliant and all the good ones have been asked . OK, instead of baking cookies for school next week I'll go assume a yoga pose by the pond and try to formulate a suitable question . Helen Quote
+2happy2gether Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 OK, instead of baking cookies for school next week I'll go assume a yoga pose by the pond and try to formulate a suitable question . Helen How much is the postage on cookies...chocolate chip?! Quote
+Couparangus Posted September 5, 2007 Author Posted September 5, 2007 Landsharkz, you'd better hurry, I feel a natural sciences question coming on.... Quote
+Landsharkz Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 I almost toppled into the pond I was out there so long . So... it's getting dark outside... and you're out walking.... How long does it take for your natural night vision to fully develop? I'll accept the closest answer plus or minus 5 minutes to the answer in the reference book I'm using. p.s. Mr. Landsharkz took a stab in the dark (pun intended) and was WAAAAAY out . Quote

+Landsharkz Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 30 minutes That is exactly correct! Well done geezer55! Over to you Quote
+geezer55 Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Didn't realize by answering the question correct I'd get to ask the next one. Went to see what would be acceptable for a question and then came up with this. Here goes. When talking about Bear Paw, Beaver-Tail and Alaskan, what are you talking about? Quote

+geezer55 Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 correct you are, now back to work for me Quote

danoshimano Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 (edited) I'm going to shift gears a bit. Hopefully this question is acceptable, but it does relate directly to the title of the thread (hint hint). Groups of geocachers routinely gather together and many ingest some combination of the following things: acacia gum activated carbon aluminum silicate bentonite calcium silicate cellulose China clay diatomaceous earth gelatin isinglass magnesium silicate Nylon 66 polyvinylpolypyrrolidone silica gel wood shavings (beech, cherry, hazelnut, oak) polyvinylpyrrolidone, ammonium persulphate dimethylpolysiloxane hydrogen peroxide and more! What is it they are doing? Edited September 10, 2007 by danoshimano Quote
+wavector Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 I think they are drinking beer. I use bentonite in cider making and some of the other things look like zymurgy related items so that is my guess. Quote
+Couparangus Posted September 11, 2007 Author Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) I can't possibly imagine what would have some of these ingredients in it. I'll guess a cheeseburger though. Edit: I was so curious I started researching it. Took me a while to figure out - very clever!! Edited September 11, 2007 by Couparangus Quote
danoshimano Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 I think they are drinking beer. Yes, they are drinking beer. And that's just a SHORT list of possible additives! (Another reason to drink beer that was brewed with 100km of your home, with only four ingredients.) Over to wavector... Quote
+TOMTEC Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 (Another reason to drink beer that was brewed with 100km of your home, with only four ingredients.) He he, I'm actually considering riding over to Creemore for a pint this evening... Good choice! TOMTEC Quote
+Couparangus Posted September 12, 2007 Author Posted September 12, 2007 As nasty as that list of things sounds, most all of it is innocuous. Hey Tomtec, that would be quite a ride - especially on your bicycle! You may want to consider the King Brewery which is a lot closer to your place. Quote
+Couparangus Posted September 14, 2007 Author Posted September 14, 2007 Too slow, Wavector! Next (easy) question: I'm geocaching 85m below the level of the sea, yet I'm not wet. What geocache am I attempting to find? Quote

What geocache am I attempting to find? something in New orleans? Oh, your NOT wet... never mind Edited September 14, 2007 by Juicepig Quote
+VO2WW Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 A Geocache in Death Valley? Without using the net I cannot give the name, if there is one there that is. Quote
lewis82 Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 (edited) One of these I guess => http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.asp...&submit4=Go Edited September 14, 2007 by lewis82 Quote
+Couparangus Posted September 18, 2007 Author Posted September 18, 2007 VO2WW is close enough! Ask away. Quote
+Couparangus Posted September 21, 2007 Author Posted September 21, 2007 Too slow! Anyone else have a question? Quote
lewis82 Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 How 'bout... On a regular cross-country mountain bike (XC), how many teeth does each of the three crankset (front) gears have and how many teeth does the smallest and largest rear derailleur gears have? Quote
+TOMTEC Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 On a regular cross-country mountain bike (XC) Hmm, you might want to get a bit more specific than that, as there really is no official standard... I have factory XC bikes from 1994 through 2006 and each has a different stock gearing configuration. Not to mention the "Mega Range" cassettes that began appearing on entry level XC bikes for those who were still unable to climb hills, even with a 20 tooth granny! Then again, maybe I just like causing trouble... TOMTEC Quote
danoshimano Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Then again, maybe I just like causing trouble... I don't think so! My tooth count on my XC is different than the other guys I ride with every week (I like big granny gears on the casette). One guy has a tooth count of zero on the big ring. Quote
lewis82 Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Then what about a twin Shimano Deore LX?? Quote
danoshimano Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Then what about a twin Shimano Deore LX?? Deore LX comes in various flavours, too. You'd have to specify the model number. Okay, I'll take a stab at the answer for the rear cassette: I think older models had 11 to 28 or 11 to 30 teeth. I think newer (9-speed) models have a bigger granny ring, up to 34 teeth, but I am sure you can get a model with a 32 tooth granny. So, my answer for the back is from 11-28 to 11-34. Maybe Tomtec can take a run at the crank rings, but I am pretty sure my middle ring has 32 teeth, but it's a Race Face crankset, not a Deore LX. Quote
lewis82 Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) You win! Mine has 22-32-42, and 11-32 (I already had a 34 mega-low on my previous bike (and it was a 7-speed), but it was plain crap. Way too low). Your turn. Edited September 22, 2007 by lewis82 Quote
+TOMTEC Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Mine has 22-32-42, and 11-32 My race bike from 1999 (I think '96 too) had that gearing, and 11-32 is probably the most common rear cassette available these days. I think most newer race bikes are coming with 22-32-44 rings on the crank, though on my XC full suspension "fun" bike I dropped the big ring and run 24-34-Bash Ring to keep things interesting.

+Couparangus Posted September 25, 2007 Author Posted September 25, 2007 Phew! I guess I'm alright if I leave radioactive isotopes, arsenic, acid, nerve gas and leyden jars. Quote
danoshimano Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Explosives, ammo, knives, drugs, alcohol and food That's correct, and in the *same* order they list them! (Methinks you peeked, but take it away.) Quote
danoshimano Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Phew! I guess I'm alright if I leave radioactive isotopes, arsenic, acid, nerve gas and leyden jars. Now, now. You know better than to leave a leyden jar in a geocache! Quote
+bassmig Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 OK, so maybe I peeked...just a little! lol I'll make it easy. What are the co-ordinates to Canada's 1st geocache? Quote
+Juicepig Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 (edited) I'll make it easy. What are the co-ordinates to Canada's 1st geocache? wow.. an easy one? *cough* reminder *cough* users are not supposed to use the internet to find the answer.. Guess it works if you have the geocoin though.. Edited September 26, 2007 by Juicepig Quote
lewis82 Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 N 44° 35.607 W 064° 10.838 no... *cough cough* I didn't lurk through Google at all... But c'mon! It was like 4 days without any post... Quote
